Single Element Lumina hollow cathode lamp (HCL) for the detection of elemental Vanadium (V). Please note that this element requires the use of a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame.

Every genuine PerkinElmer lamp is designed for use with and tested on our spectrometers to assure compatibility and the highest performance. We offer a wide range of single-element and multi-element HCLs, which are ideal for determining most elements by atomic absorption spectroscopy. To prolong the life of a Lumina Hollow Cathode Lamp (HCL), we produce lamps with larger internal volume so that a greater supply of fill gas at optimum pressure is available. The larger the lamp, the greater the inert gas volume — and the longer the lamp lifetime.

Note: Lumina hollow cathode lamps may also be used with all earlier AA spectrometers that do not have automatic code reading capability by using an appropriate adapter cable.
